If I understand you correctly, when you boot with the stick inserted, it is detected correctly but if you remove it and then re-insert it, it's not detected. Could you please post the relevant sections of /var/log/messages showing the initial da1 probe messages, when you remove it and when you re-insert it. --=20 Peter Jeremy --/QKKmeG/X/bPShih Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGrFnX/opHv/APuIcRAtxRAJ9MBVD9NnwYUe7RZ3cofrUgfmipOgCcC4kD sjPhsx/TKXO+yPa0bMMIU7Y= =sZQ+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/QKKmeG/X/bPShih--
